new RIA 1911 compact

[gkamer]

I have ordered a new 1911 compact and hope to pick it up this wed. Now to see if it is as good as i have read it is. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on a holster type to use.I usually carry iwb and owb depending which weapon i am carrying at the time and how i am dressed.Any other RIA owners with good info on these guns would be appreciated.

Excellent, reliable and accurate pistols.

Best Compact 1911 for the money. I mistakenly sold mine to a friend and still regret it although my Colt New Agent helps to ease the pain. I carried mine in a skeletal slide holster like this http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/3-0629892

Picked up my new RIA 1911. It was well oiled to say the least. After cleaning I put a 50 rd box of tulammo down the range. Had no problems whatever. Handles good, not too much of a recoil. Trigger pull seems very good. Accuracy is still debatable as to if it is the gun or me. Most likely me,used to sights that are easier to see. This one has no white dots or outline. I have some good white gloss paint i plan on highlighting the sights with. So far I am well pleased with this 400 dollar gun.

I put a set of three dot sights on mine. they made all the difference.

I started hunting one these down this week. Being a first 1911 for me, this one fits the beer budget to learn with.

I put some three dot sights on mine and it made a big difference too. White nail polish and a toothpick.

Phil at Bellshire Hardware stocks these and has a good price on them. I bought the Compact Tactical from him.
